Most people want to change something about themselves or the way they live their lives—perhaps they want to quit smoking, lose some weight, or learn a new language. Too often, people set these goals but seem to be unable to achieve them; their successes or failures depend entirely on their willpower.

For some people, the quest for willpower seems as impossible as the quest for the Holy Grail. We want to have strength of mind and determination when we decide to make a life change, whatever it may be.

Author Bella Tindale has researched willpower extensively and now offers her findings in this helpful, accessible guide. She explains how to unlock this force that is within each of us, providing the tools and strategies necessary to keep motivation alive, resist temptation, and handle obstacles and setbacks without deviating from our goals.

Through The Magic of Willpower, you can gain confidence as you face new challenges while being at peace with yourself and with those around you.

Customer Reviews

"I bought the ebook version of Tindale's book and finished it in one night! Being a veteran dieter whose tried every diet on the books but never managed to stick with any because of one problem not having enough willpower, I decided to give reading this book a go. The book was easy to read and kept me interested the whole time. After reading I've had the willpower to plan all my meals, go to the gym four times a week and say no to the cakes at morning tea and the glass of wine with dinner. This book has motivated me and helped me gain all the motivation I needed to change my lifestyle. After two weeks of my new lifestyle and newly found motivation, I've felt happier and healthier both physically and mentally. Great book, must read! Looking out for another self improvement book soon! "

I have been struggling with an addiction for the last five years and I have read a lot of books on willpower because I know this is what I need the most. This is the one that I like the best so far. It made me think a lot and it explains really well what willpower actually is. Now I am confident that I can finally beat my addiction. I have a little daughter and I want to be there for her when she grows up. One thing I really like is the idea of replacing the addiction with something else. It makes a lot of sense to me. I will keep reading a few pages of this book every day so I can be reminded of what I want and keep doing it. I also like the chapter on how to deal with temptation this has always beens a big problem for me. Thank you for this wonderful book I know it will change my life and I can look forward to the next 50 years or even more !!
